Given points (r1, u1 ) and (r2, u2) in polar coordinates, obtain a general formula for the distance between them. Simplify it as

much as possible using the identity cos2 u 1 sin2 u 5 1. Hint: Write the expressions for the two points in Cartesian coordinates and substitute into the usual distance formula.

Answer:

  d=\sqrt{r_1^2+r_2^2-2r_1r_2\cos(u_2-u_1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Cosines gives an immediate result. No translation to Cartesian coordinates is necessary. That law makes use of the angle between the vectors, u2-u1

  d^2=r_1^2+r_2^2-2r_1r_2\cos(u_2-u_1)\\\\\boxed{d=\sqrt{r_1^2+r_2^2-2r_1r_2\cos(u_2-u_1)}}

How do I factor: x to the third minus 3x squared plus 4x minus 2
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

(x² − 2x + 2) (x − 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use grouping.

x³ − 3x² + 4x − 2

x³ − 3x² + 2x + 2x − 2

x (x² − 3x + 2) + 2 (x − 1)

x (x − 2) (x − 1) + 2 (x − 1)

(x (x − 2) + 2) (x − 1)

(x² − 2x + 2) (x − 1)

A rectangular box with an open top has a length of x feet, a width of y feet, and a height of z feet. It costs $4.30 per square
almond37 [142]

Answer:

C=$(4.30xy+5.40(xz+yz))

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Area of a Cuboid=2(LW+LH+HW)

Since the top is open

Surface Area = LW+2(LH+HW)

If Length = x feet,

Width =y feet

Height = z feet

Surface Area = xy+2(xz+yz)

Area of the base=xy

If it costs $4.30 per square foot to build the base

Cost of the base=Cost Per Square Foot X Area = $4.30xy

Area of the sides =2(xz+yz)

If it costs $2.70 per square foot to build the sides

Cost of the sides=Cost Per Square Foot X Area of the sides

= 2.70 X 2(xz+yz)

=5.40(xz+yz)

Cost of Constructing the Box = Cost of Constructing the Base + Cost of Constructing the Sides.

Therefore,

C=$(4.30xy+5.40(xz+yz))
